Quick description of how I made this card
I kicked off this project with an inky background from my stash—these pre-made panels are lifesavers when I need a little creative boost! This one, with its soft pastel tones, immediately gave me an Easter vibe, so I knew exactly where to go next.
The adorable lamb from the Bunny Blessings Stamp Set was the perfect match! I stamped it in alcohol-friendly ink and started coloring, layering alcohol markers as a base. To add richness and depth, I went back in with colored pencils, bringing the image to life with extra dimension. A few white highlights later, I fussy-cut the lamb for a finishing touch.
To shake things up, I decided to trim part of the background panel, creating a break in the design for added interest. Since the lamb is holding a book, I paired it with this limited-edition sentiment—perfect for a book-loving friend! 📖💛
